With a new lawyer in tow, Sheree Whitfield walked into the courtroom for her child support battle with her ex-husband Bob on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' (Tue., 9PM ET on Bravo). Phaedra Parks was a little wary of representing Sheree because she hadn't fully paid two previous attorneys (she didn't feel they did a good enough job).

After convincing Sheree to not flaunt her wealth with her style in court, Parks was ready. It turned out to be good advice, because Bob was not only dressed way down, he was there representing himself. Parks said this was to emphasize how much poorer he is -- Bob was petitioning to lower his child support expectations.

Jenelle Evan's dramatic decision to ditch living with her mother so she could go be with her boyfriend is working out about as well as her mother predicted on 'Teen Mom 2' (Tue., 10PM ET on MTV). The two are now living in Jenelle's car, which isn't great for their relationship.

Add to that Kieffer's insistence on doing nothing other than gambling and drinking, and it's a recipe for disaster. Their friend Ben got caught in the crossfire when Jenelle challenged Kieffer when he was drinking.

"Kieffer has alcohol and I don't like it," she said. When he defiantly stood a bit away from her in a parking lot and drank another sip, Jenelle lost it. "I swear to f****** God come back to this car, Kieffer," she said. "I'm gonna knock you out."

Telling your co-workers that you're pregnant can be complicated, which may be why baker Heather chose to just slide it into a random conversation on 'Cake Boss: Next Great Baker' (Mon., 9PM ET on TLC) rather than make a big announcement.

Her co-workers were totally unaware that she was pregnant until she said she had to go to the bathroom: "Baby pressing on bladder, I'll go really really fast."

Those chef's whites must be very forgiving as, unbelievably, Heather had made it to seven months' pregnant without anyone noticing. Except Chad, who said that he thought she was, but didn't mention it just in case she wasn't.

With the gang split up on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' (Mon., 9PM ET on Bravo), the hottest action was clearly happening with Pandora's bachelor party in Las Vegas. The women were tasked with demonstrating "one nasty lap dance."

But while Lisa Vanderpump said, "I still don't want to see my daughter kind of gyrating over the lap of a Chipmunk," she didn't seem to mind her daughter seeing her gyrating even more sensually on him.

Vanderpump Translation:Chipmunk = Chippendales Dancer

"Now Lisa, She can work it," Taylor Armstrong said of Vanderpump's performance. "She was moving that thing in his face."

Sarah Palin is shopping a new reality show that would follow her husband Todd's snowmobile adventures, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

In 2010, Palin invited cameras to her home for TLC's 'Sarah Palin's Alaska.' However, the network has reportedly passed on the new project. THR reports Palin and 'Sara Palin's Alaska' producer Mark Burnett are pitching the program focusing on her husband and his career as a snowmobile racer. A&E Networks, which entered a bidding war with Discovery over 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' has also passed on the show.

Last night Bob Forrest and Rachel Uchitel checked up on Garrett as part of 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1) and things did not go too well. Garret told the pair that he'd been taking lots of painkillers following a serious motorcycle accident, and then he admitted dabbling in marijuana and booze.

That's when Bob criticized Garrett's "cavalier and laissez-faire attitude toward alcohol," which did not sit well with the former teen idol. Saying "I really do not appreciate it," Garrett walked out. Again.

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian continued to prove just how on different pages a married couple can be on 'Kourtney and Kim Take New York' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!). Kris didn't take it very well when Kim said, "I'm never moving to Minnesota. Ever."

This was because she had made a deal with him that when he was done playing, he could choose their home for half the year and she would choose the other half. It would appear Kim had second thoughts about that.

"How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?" she asked. She then said she wanted to raise her kids in LA, because "That's where I'm from. That's all I know."

The final three teams took off from Panama headed back to the United States for the final leg of this edition of 'The Amazing Race' (Sun., 8PM ET On CBS). When the final destination city was revealed to be Atlanta, all three remaining teams immediately knew this would give an edge to Marcus and Amani because that's their hometown. Was it enough for the married couple to win?

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

Unlike some past seasons, it looked like one pivotal moment dropped one team behind, eliminating any chance of a close finish. At the flight simulator, it was Marcus and Amani who struggled to land the plane and essentially cost themselves a shot at winning.

It was the end of his second season on 'Sweet Home Alabama' (Fri., 9PM ET on CMT), but this time it was Tribble Reese tasked with breaking one final person's heart on his way to choosing his winner. He was one of the eliminated bachelors in the reality show's first season.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

In that first season, a country boy won out, and it looks like it could become a pattern on the show. Despite saying "I love you" to city girl Jacqueline Honuluk on their final date cruise in New York City, he said that his heart "keeps falling more and more in love" with country girl Tristan Smith.

Ty Pennington is looking to bring auctions to prime time with the special 'The Great Big American Auction' (Thu., 10PM ET on ABC). But an auction is only as good as the pieces it fetches, and the best pieces are often discovered purely by accident.

Felicia Batey came in with a ten-cent purchase from her grandmother of an old frame with a pair of photographs in it. It was what was hidden inside, behind the pictures, that was the true surprise. In an envelope was a $100 bill from 1880.

"This is an amazingly rare note," Batey was told by the show's expert. "As a matter of fact, there are only 16 of these known. This is number 17."

One thing is very clear on 'Braxton Family Values' (Thu., 10PM ET on WE), and that is that no amount of convincing will get Tamar to even consider the possibility of having a baby. First, Trina said that her big sister is to vain to ever put her body through childbirth.

Tamar brought it on herself by saying, "I want a baby in my life, but not right now." After that statement, she shot down everything her sisters said, essentially backing down completely from the claim.

"Who's gonna watch it?" she asked. "I got things to do. I'm busy." But she lost them completely when she started equating having children to a mother duck with her ducklings waddling behind her, as if Tamar imagined human motherhood to work the same way.

For one blissful moment around the ten minute mark, I almost fooled myself into thinking that this week's 'X Factor' results show was only a half hour long. Surely, I thought, they couldn't stretch the announcement of the final four over an hour. (Do I even go here?)

Sadly, thanks to musical performances from Lenny Kravitz -- with no probing questions about 'The Hunger Games,' for shame, Steve Jones -- and Mary J. Blige, plus an inane video introducing us to the tireless backstage crew, the producers just about managed to pad the episode. And what a shocking episode it turned out to be.

There's a saying that great minds think alike. By that logic, there must be nothing but great minds in 'The Real World' (Wed., 10PM ET on MTV) house. While in Cabo, three of the guys came up on a goofy idea.

"Walking back to the room and we have a great idea and it's really original," Nate explained. "Frank, Nate, Sam and I wanted to show everybody our Mexican birthday suits."

Only it wasn't original at all. Instead, they walked in naked to find the rest of their housemates equally without clothing. "Seven little nakies just prancing around the villa in Cabo," Nate laughed. "It's just weird."

The final six made it to the loved ones visit on 'Survivor: South Pacific' (Wed., 8PM ET on CBS). While the producers didn't bring in the notorious Russell Hantz to visit his nephew, Brandon's father Sean did stop by and prove that the Hantz brothers think a lot alike.

Sean Hantz was flabbergasted to hear that his son was more concerned about setting an example for Christ and viewers than he was about winning the prize.

"What are you here for then?" he asked his son. "You came here to win a million dollars. Let's not lose perspective."

There was a surprise waiting toward the end of this season finale of 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW). Going into the finale, it was a three-way competition between Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard and Angelea Preston.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

After watching their final shoots, Tyra Banks made her announcement. "It turns out that after shooting was wrapped, our production team and the network learned information from Angelea that disqualifies her from the competition," she said.
